STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — As expected, top-seeded Tottenville advanced to the championship round of the PSAL 2A citywide playoffs Saturday at home by beating two opponents, including Susan Wagner, 55-25, in the semifinals.<\/p>\n
Petrides, however, seeded first in the 1A bracket, was upset by No. 4 Eagle Academy, 43-35, in the semifinals. <\/p>\n
The Pirates entered the 15-team playoff Saturday with an 8-0 league mark. After receiving a bye in the opening round, John Cichon\u2019s club toppled No. 9 seed Forest Hills, 65-15, in the quarters.<\/p>\n
That set up an all-Island semifinal with No. 5 Susan Wagner but the Pirates proved to be too much. The Falcons had advanced to the semis by beating No. 12 Bronx Science, 66-16, in the opening round, before disposing of No. 4 Metropolitan Campus, 46-27, in the quarters. <\/p>\n
The Pirates will now face No. 2 seed Madison, which beat No. 7 FDR (55-22) in the quarters and No. 3 Cardozo (70-9) in the semis, Tuesday at 5 p.m. at Grover Cleveland HS in Queens.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Petrides, which was 8-0 in the regular season, received a bye in the opening round of the 18-team 1A bracket before blitzing No. 17 Bathgate, 71-6, in the second round. <\/p>\n
Head coach Dave Olah\u2019s troops followed that with a 71-6 rout of No. 9 Information Tech in the quarters before succumbing to No. 4 seed Eagle Academy in the semis. <\/p>\n
Eagle will now face No. 2 Riverdale\/Kings HS Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Grover Cleveland for the city crown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — As expected, top-seeded Tottenville advanced to the championship round of the PSAL 2A citywide…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118723,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":{"0":"post-118722","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-staten-island","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-city","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-staten-island","12":"tag-staten-island-headlines","13":"tag-staten-island-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118722"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118722\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
